Jones and Aspinall have been involved in an ongoing back-and-forth regarding the status of their heavyweight title unification bout, which has resulted in petitions being created online to strip 'Bones' of his title.

The reigning heavyweight champion recently dropped a hint that he wouldn't discuss the status of the bout in order to avoid getting in the way of the UFC's announcements.

Red Corner MMA recently posted a clip to their X account via Bisping, which shows the former middleweight champion describing the magnitude of a potential Jones vs. Aspinall bout.

'The Count' mentioned that 'Bones' could walk away earning a purse that only Conor McGregor could surpass. He said:

"This will be the biggest heavyweight fight that the UFC has ever seen. [Jones] will probably get one of the biggest paydays the sport's ever seen. In fact, the only person I think that could even rival this or maybe get paid more would be Conor McGregor, he's the biggest earner the sport's ever seen. This fight's going to be gigantic. [Jones] is going to get paid a sh*t load of cash."
